2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger / with Hanger  It does not have a maker mark. It shows some usage. The hilt fittings are the usual gray aluminum type having darkened factory backgrounds. The pommel is quite interesting to examine, as it has lots of hand-enhancing to the oak leaf depictions. The leaves have been totally scrolled around the borders where they meet the center ridge. Both of the mobile-style swastikas are nicely vaulted. The cross guard depicts a fine eagle that is flying to the viewer’s left. This eagle has outstanding hand-enhanced details to his eye, beak, breast feathering, legs, and talons. He clutches a mobile swastika. The reverse panels also have good detail and retain much of the airplane gray coating covering the surfaces. The upper quillon arms have very beautiful engraved style oak leaves and acorns. The ferrule is also gray-colored, matching the other fittings. The scabbard is a typical generic type. It has matching airplane gray surfaces and shows only the most nominal of age. 

My uncle brought this back from Germany following his service in the U.S. Army.  It was given to me years ago and has been a prize posestion. 

After over fifty years of collecting, I am downsizing and selling everything. I am happy to consider any offer and very open to offers of multiple knives.  I am happy to provide additional pictures or answer any questions.
